New Tomorrowland attraction marquee

The Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland is bringing back some of its original style with new marquee signage that says goodbye to the 1990's Tomorrowland look, and goes retro with the spires of the 1970's.

That is correct...it was RYCA1 Dream of a new World. Sadly the remains of that have been with us for decades... It would be nice to see some real fresh show scenes to replace what is there currently...something with a narrative, some animatronics like it originally had and the speegdramp to move us through the show scenes...like it was... It was so good....and it's Queue and speed ramp 3rd act really made it an amazing complete journey.

I believe the star tunnel music came in with the second RCA post show RYCA-1 to which every version since is a re-dressing of to my understanding.

my point of reference on Space Mountain is a little earlier than the star tunnel music... the days of Here's To The Future and the dark odd music track that was in the last portion of the queue and the dome... Star tunnel came later after RCA sponsorship left. To me, that was the definitive music and theme. They also recorded it with no Sponsor mention...slightly adjusted lyrics... It was a great theme for the attraction. Fun optimistic and happy. "RCA Leads The Way! became "Let your dreams...lead the way!" still a great message for a new Tomorrowland.

That music is so iconic and so integral to the attraction itself, that it would completely change the vibe and atmosphere of the build up to the ride in the queue. I wish I could believe that WDI would never change the music, but.....

doubt they would get rid of anything that is actually making money....But seems like they could still create some kind of attraction to fit the space....

If they get rid of auntie gravities/merchant of Venus too that would help, If they created something in the theatre in the round type style it would be ok. The building right now feels very Disneyland in the fact that it has a lot of things shoved into it that all sort of cross cross each other in back of house. It just seems they are very limited in what they would be able to fit in there.

Good design works with constraints. “But the asbestos” is a better excuse.

And yet three attractions managed. Two good ones. Four if you count Flight to the Moon. Three worldwide Tomorrowlands have 'Turtle Talk with Stitch' attractions, using roughly similar scale.

Does good design dictate practicality?

You used break 3 times!!!! Ralph Breaks the internet activity confirmed

The space doesn’t need to maintain that configuration. It can be gutted. Being able to work with existing conditions, even ones that are less than ideal, is something a good design should be able to accomplish.

Good to know that they never got rid of the break rooms lol

It’s just a maze of break rooms now, the pre show, the bypass hallways, exit hallways just break room after break room, plus the actual real break room lol

The entire building was a social distance break room during covid. It was kinda unreal sitting in there taking my breaks back when I was a custodian. Its still used a place for coordinators to handle stuff on the east side of the park
